SPOTON! VERSION 1.2 SOON TO BE SPOTON! ANALYZE
SpotOn!™ is easy-to-use process control software with a powerful visual dashboard for tracking on-going press and proofer conditions. SpotOn! makes it easy for any print shop to test and generate charts showing the consistency for their printing and proofing processes. By adding a 29-patch control strip to press sheets and scanning it with an i1 spectrophotometer, SpotOn! allows you to achieve and maintain optimum results to GRACoL® and SWOP® specifications.
SPOTON! VERIFY NOW WITH VISUAL MATCH SCORECARE
SpotOn! Verify is an internal quality control tool that tracks the consistency of printing devices to an industry specification or a custom reference. The new SpotOn! Verify Applies statistical probability to define an unambiguous score for comparing print-to-standard or print-to-print based on a visual match rather than pass/fail metrics and tolerances. There are now four visual zones: No visual difference (90% – 100%), Good Visual Match (80% – 90%), Fair Visual Match (70% – 80%), and Poor Visual Match (Below 70%).

SPOTON! FLEXO WITH PREDICTIVE ANALYSIS
SpotOn! Flexo uses spectral data to provide optimal density information, allowing the operator to run a spot color to match a reference color. This software compares the spectral data of a color measured on a press pull (using a spectrophotometer) to the spectral data of the reference color. A quick calculation gives the press operator the optimal density to obtain the closest (lowest Delta E, or ∆E) match to the reference color.
